OpenSQLCamp was a huge success! I took videos of most of the sessions (we only had 3 video cameras, and 4 rooms, and 2 sessions were not recorded). Unfortunately, I was busy doing administrative stuff for opensqlcamp for the opening keynote and first 15 minutes of the session organizing, and when I got to the planning board, it was already full….so I was not able to give a session.
OpenSQLCamp was a huge success! Not many folks have blogged about what they learned there….if you missed it, all is not lost. We did take videos of most of the sessions (we only had 3 video cameras, and 4 rooms, and 2 sessions were not recorded).
All the videos have been processed, and I am working on uploading

descriptions. Not all the videos are up right now….right now all
the lightning talks are up.

Hello folks, we have just released another alpha-version of MySQL Workbench 5.2. This release now contains another couple of Administration features like “Managing your user accounts”, “Viewing your log tables”, improved start/stop scripts for remote administration (administration of remote servers is working in the mac and linux version of MySQL Workbench 5.2.6 – the windows version needs yet a bit more tweaking on that park, so that will be available in next release).

Head right over to our download pages and grab a copy to check out current functionality hands on. Please keep in mind, that this is still an alpha version – so do not use it on production data/servers! Also please note, MySQL Workbench files saved with version 5.2 cannot be opened with …
